2 Thoughts on “Weekend snippets #6”

And yes, I was having a discussion about the souless-ness of outsourcing of art in China. Did you know the oil paintings in Taikang Lu – someone would use a blown up photograph and have a bunch of people paint oils over them to sell? Terrible.

Oh it’s actually just Enoteca at Anfu Lu. I was pleasantly surprised it was made by a Chinese company (can’t remember the brand name right now though).

Ack ! It’s all too industrialized these days. Even if they don’t paint over photographs, there are still “artist towns” where art school graduates work in sweatshops reproducing art 24/7.

In Zhou’s case, while I understand that established artists often rely on assistants to complete their works, but for one that started out and got famous solely on the basis of conceptualizing works ? That’s new to me.
